• Led engineering efforts for internal/external process development activities and external campaign execution. Collaborated with cross-functional teams in high-level decision making while maintaining > 50% of time in laboratory performing experiments to drive process improvements and ensure robustness upon scale-up.• Co-led efforts in developing an in-house continuous crystallization platform and utilized setup to perform experiments to investigate crystallization of a challenging API. Conducted studies to characterize nucleation and growth rates through regression of kinetic study results to population balance model.• Supported tech transfer to external partners during process familiarization and ensured success through rigorous equipment evaluation and reviewing master batch records prior to production.• Developed tool to automate generation of technology transfer packages used to communicate process details for scale-up at internal and external pilot plants. Tool resulted in significant reduction in time required for compiling technology transfer packages through automated generation of block flow diagrams and increased accuracy in vendor responses for production quotations.

• Provided engineering expertise to enable successful technology transfer of projects to internal and external manufacturing locations. Required travel to numerous vendors in Europe and Asia to ensure scale-up success and troubleshoot in real-time with external partners.• Performed engineering analysis to evaluate potential scale-up risks, plant fit and projected cycle time.• Maintained constant communication with external partners and directed externalized development activities for 3+ clinical assets in parallel.• Coordinated successful execution of on-scale parameter variation campaign at external vendor to support parameter ranges for regulatory filing.

• Designed and performed laboratory experiments to define process parameters, design space and control strategies for synthetic sequences to produce process intermediates and API from raw materials.• Analyzed and interpreted experimental data to define scale-dependent engineering controls to enable safe and efficient unit operations while meeting the technical requirements of chemical processes.• Utilized high throughput experimentation, process analytical technologies, modeling and engineering correlations to drive experimental design and process understanding.• Provided technical oversight during technology transfer and execution of the scale-up of the synthetic sequences at internal and external pilot plants. Successfully scaled-up processes within kilo lab (<10 kg), mid-scale pilot plant (10-50 kg) and large-scale (> 50 kg) facilities.• Partook in rotation program within internal pilot plants supporting hands-on execution of GMP production of intermediates and APIs within commercial-scale equipment.• Successfully developed, characterized and validated an API process for an in-house clinical asset within expedited timelines (< 2 years) for a highly accelerated program.

During my internship at Merck, I was responsible for the following: - Drafting and applying a change control to install software updates on all automated filter integrity test instruments used within specified factories and executed installation/operational qualification protocol - Communicating with outside vendors to obtain cost comparisons of various preassembled and sterilized assemblies to achieve cost minimization and updated assembly drawings via Microsoft Visio - Drafting and executing a test plan to ensure container closure integrity on newly designed collar assemblies by challenging connections and potential leakage points with helium sniffer probes - Acting as secondary reviewer for documents that will be used for Adjuvant regulatory filingsIn order to work at my designated manufacturing site, I was required to maintain all all applicable site and corporate training, including: - Access to Grade C Manufacturing Space - GMP Orientations
